Feathers

Sketching

I was thinking of this sort of weightless feeling when I considered the word quiet, and that made me think of leaves or feathers floating silently to the ground. My concept is to draw four or five feathers, each using a different style or technique, but unified in size and color and overall feeling. I have no idea if this will work, but hey, I like it.

What do you think? Will it work?

Introduction

Hello all! I've been playing around with Illustrator on and off for years, mostly to do graphics and things for my blog (www.letseatgrandpa.com). Everything I've learned is self-taught. I know a lot of the basics, but I am hoping this class will expand my skills and teach me some things I didn't even know were out there to do. I'm an editor by trade, not a graphic designer, so I hope I can keep up! Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback!
